Panini America Offers Pre-Ink Peek at the Peerless Patches in 2011-12 Dominion

Let’s be honest: There’s never a bad time to preview a product like 2011-12 Dominion Hockey. So even though it’s still a ways out on the release calendar with 2011-12 Prime Hockey to come before, I couldn’t resist sharing some of the serendipitous scenes I saw back in the Acquisitions department earlier this week.

Among the rush of incoming collection-makers hitting Panini America HQ these days — fresh from the production facility — are Dominion’s intense memorabilia cards that will be cataloged, counted and QC’d before being expedited to the respective players on them for on-card autographs.

Clearly, though, the popular Peerless Patches cards are likely to generate the most drool, including an absolutely insane ensemble of cards showcasing the legendary Gordie Howe. See what we mean in the gallery below, and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for additional previews.
